What Hacker News says?

  1. Flour: http://ricardo.cc/cake-flour/ A build tool predating js modules, grunt, ES6. While it hasn't been touched for years, I still go back to it from time to time because it's so simple to use.

  3. You might want to try out CoffeeScript with contracts: http://disnetdev.com/contracts.coffee/ Compiles to beautiful JavaScript and gives programmers the ability to check types at compile-type. If you've never used it, I'd compare CoffeeScript to an amalgam of Ruby and Python, with a little Haskell thrown in (take a look at how you specify contracts, for example).

  7. Manuel: http://manuel.00null.net The main issue I have faced when trying to use bash scripts for this is that most frontend developers are not familiar with it, and a (thankfully) minority still uses Windows. You can still install dependencies from package.json and use ./node_modules/bin/xxx to execute them, so that's not a stopper. I wrote a simple task-runner around the same time Grunt was born: http://ricardo.cc/…

  9. I recently posted on writing a UI component using only native javascript and a Model-View pattern[1]. Something like this can easily be written in 10-15 minutes, doesn't require previous knowledge of any library or framework, and serves as a good measure for code style, organization, design patterns, knowledge of javascript, the DOM API, and application architecture.
